Comment on "Crystal structures of translocator protein (TSPO) and mutant mimic of a human polymorphism".

چکیده
Li et al. (Reports, 30 January, p. 555) reported on a crystal structure for a translocator protein (TSPO) from Rhodobacter sphaeroides in which some of the electron density is modeled as a porphyrin. The analysis of the x-ray data discussed here suggests that this assignment is incorrect.

Response to Comment on "Crystal structures of translocator protein (TSPO) and mutant mimic of a human polymorphism".
Wang comments that the diffraction data for the structure of the A139T mutant of translocator protein TSPO from Rhodobacter sphaeroides should be used to 1.65 instead of 1.8 angstroms and that the density interpreted as porphyrin and monoolein is better fitted as polyethylene glycol. Although different practices of data processing exist, in this case they do not substantially influence the fina...
متن کاملEffect of Sulpiride on Translocator Protein (TSPO) Gene Expression and Histomorphometric Indices in the Testis of Rats under Physical or Psychological Stress
Introduction: It is well established that stress or the use of sulpiride, an antipsychotic, disrupts the reproductive system. Translocator protein (TSPO) in the mitochondrial membrane of steroidogenic tissues, such as gonads, is involved in the regulation of steroid hormone production by transporting cholesterol into the mitochondria. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of stress...
متن کاملاثرات تزریق ارکسینA به درون بطن سوم مغزی بر بیان ژن Translocator protein (TSPO) در تخمدان موش های آندروژنه بالغ
هدف: اثرات تزریق ارکسینA به درون بطن سوم مغز بر بیان ژن TSPO در تخمدان موش‌های آندروژنه (AND) بالغ و تاثیر آن بر روی سنتز استرویید‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌های ضروری در تولید مثل بررسی شد. مواد و روشها: بیست و چهار سر موش صحرایی ماده سه روزه در گروه‌های شش‌تایی با تزریق زیر پوستی تستوسترون پروپیونات آندروژنه شدند و شش سر موش ماده دیگر بهعنوان گروه کنترل انتخاب شدند. بعد از بلوغ حیوانات در 5 گروه شش‌ت...
متن کاملAn 18-kDa Translocator Protein (TSPO) polymorphism explains differences in binding affinity of the PET radioligand PBR28
[(11)C]PBR28 binds the 18-kDa Translocator Protein (TSPO) and is used in positron emission tomography (PET) to detect microglial activation. However, quantitative interpretations of signal are confounded by large interindividual variability in binding affinity, which displays a trimodal distribution compatible with a codominant genetic trait. Here, we tested directly for an underlying genetic m...
متن کاملP-30: The Effect of The T26248G Polymorphism on Putative MethyltransferaseNsun7 Protein Function and Its Role in Male Infertility
Background: Male infertility has many causes, including genetic infertility. The NOP2/Sun domain family, member7 (Nsun7) gene, which encodes putative methyltransferase Nsun7, has a role in sperm motility. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of the T26248G polymorphism on Nsun7 protein function and its role in male infertility. Materials and Methods: Semen samples were col...
